Over 25 years of making our products more sustainable

At B&Q, we started our sustainability journey in the early 1990s – driven by a challenge that if we claimed to care about the environment, we should know where our products came from, how they were being made and what they were being made from.

Back in 1989, we opened B&Q Macclesfield staffed by a team who were all 55 or over. In 1991, we published our first timber policy – and we went on to become a founding member of FSC®, the Forest Stewardship Council.
